CWP-731-2020 Following order was passed by this Court on 17.5.2022:- "Learned counsel for respondents No.2 to 4 submits that an approximate amount of Rs.9,50,000/- has already been released in favour of the petitioner towards his claim inclusive of security. As on date nothing remains to be paid to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner may respond to the aforesaid statement on the next date of hearing. List again on 06.08.2022."

As per office report, learned counsel for the petitioner has been informed telephonically about the date fixed i.e. today. None has appeared on behalf of the petitioner. It appears that after receipt of amount of Rs.9,50,000/- towards total claim of the petitioner, he is not willing to contest this case.

This Court has no alternative, but to dismiss this case at this stage with a liberty to the petitioner that in case something survives, he may move an appropriate application for revival of the case. Ordered accordingly.
